lightupthelamp Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Wondering what other fans are thinking about the new Sabres that were added during the off season? Who do you think has been the most impressive? Who has been the biggest disappointment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishjim Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 hands down leino is the biggest disappointment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent05 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Agree with you jim and Erhoff also, dude looks worst then Carle and is a turnover machine. They have him for 10 years, lmao. The rookie Luke Adams looks like he will be a good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightupthelamp Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I've been most disappointed in Ehrhoff. Not worth a 10 year contract. He hasn't added enough to the offense or defense to justify that. I think he has caused more goals by allowing too many odd man rushes.Most impressive has been Zack Kassian. He has put some points up on the board and has a physical presence that draws penalties. I do wish he would be a little more physical. I think Sabres fans have a lot of expectations for him to be our big hitter even more so then Kaleta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightupthelamp Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Yeah Luke Adam is a stud. I was psyched to see him make the team this year. He has potential to be another big play maker for the Sabres on the Pominville and Vanek level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerrod Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Tyler Meyers is injured but once he is healthy again, he will become an absolute mainstay on the defense. He is going to be a beast on the blue line as soon as he learns to play with an edge. As his experience level increases, I really think you will see that happen. He already skates like the wind, and being damn near 8 feet tall doesn't hurt either....P.S. I realize he is really only 6'8" but seeing him next to St. Louis or Briere..well....

lightupthelamp Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 After that hit Regehr had on Ovechkin last night, he may be my new favorite. Now if only all the Sabres would hit like that all of the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehrhofff not that far behind, but much more was expected of Leino. And the length of contract as well.Ehrhoff is displaying the same weaknesses he had in Vancouver. I have no idea why Reigier gave him a decade-long deal.GMs are sinking franchises with ridiculous long-term contracts. It's like everybody's turning into Mike freaking Milbury.If Yashin and DiPietro* didn't show the league the dangers of decade-long contracts, I don't know what else they need.IMO, it's past time to change GMs. I'm not throwing Ruff under the bus, necessarily. Yet.* not Milbury, granted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
